You first came out with “Gimme Dat,” which was
real aggressive. It gave people a certain image of
you and now with the “Independent” record are
you kind of trying to switch up the way people
view you?
Oh yeah, I just make all kinds of music. You know
“Gimme Dat” was my club banger for my girls
but you know I couldn’t dance with my sister or
grandmother to “Gimme Dat.” I respect women.
I got my two twin daughters coming up; they’re
gonna be independent women. My grandmother
raised me to be independent. My sister is independent. I just tried to make something that inspired
them too. People took “Gimme Dat” the wrong
way.
What way should they have taken “Gimme Dat?”
Why do you say people took it the wrong way?
‘Cause I was just being me. I was just having fun.
You know, a lot of girls like when a boy tells ‘em
shit like that.
So you’ve been getting good feedback off “Independent” from your family members and what
not? They diggin’ it?
From everybody. It’s not just for my family members; it’s for all independent women.
You and Boosie are so respected in the South
but it seems like you haven’t really reached that
whole worldwide level that you should be at. What
do you think it’s going to take to get everybody to
recognize the talents that y’all have? What do you
think it’ll take to get you to that next superstar
level?
It’s gonna come. We just gotta be patient and keep
grinding. I mean, we made it this far.
So what’s the next record from the album you’re
gonna drop after “Independent?”
I have a single with Letoya Luckett called “I Miss
You.”
Is that dedicated to anyone in particular?

(laughs) It’s for everybody. It’s for every man
‘cause they can play it for their ol’ lady.
How does Savage Life 2 compare to your first
Savage Life album?
It’s still me. I’m savage. You know? They call me
a savage. It’s a savage life. I’m just running my
life. It’s my life; I’m living it. I’ma just keep going
‘till Savage Life 100.
I know you’ve been making a lot of money these
last couple of years. Have you bought anything
lately that you’d like to tell people about? What’s
your favorite luxury purchase that you’ve gotten
for yourself?
I don’t know. I been buying a lot of stuff – cars,
clothes, jewelry. I’m buying my sister and brother
a house. You know, just buying all kinds of shit.
Do you have a favorite car or anything?
My favorite car is probably my drop top, the old
school ’73 bandit.
You know this is for the drug issue, right? I know
you’re a weed connoisseur. Do you have a favorite type of weed?
(laughs) Yeah, purple weed.
What’s so special about it?
That’s just my favorite one, the real purple. When
you look at it you ain’t even got to ask what kind
it is. It’s just so purple it looks like somebody
colored it or something.

Just the purple?
Yeah.
How much do you spend on weed during an
average week?
I smoke like an ounce a day. An ounce costs like
$600. I can spend up to at least two or three Gs
a week.
Do you think weed should be legalized?
Yeah, in California they got the stores you walk
in and just buy the weed from behind the shelf.
You gotta have your medical card or whatever
so they should just go on ahead and [make it
legal]. You know, they just wanna get they tax
money off the shit.
So you have a medical marijuana card?
When I go to California I’m straight.
What’s your ailment? What does it help you with
medically?
Oh, I don’t know. That’s just what the people
who own the store say in California. I just been
smoking weed since I been in middle school.
You know what I’m saying?
Do you remember the first time you smoked
weed?
Hmm, not really. Me and my cousin just started
smoking it…

So do you have any other drugs of choice? Or are
you just basically a weed dude?
Oh no. I’m straight with weed.

And you fell in love?
Yeah.

Why do you avoid other types of drugs?
It just ain’t for me.

How’s the road been treating you?
They feeling me. My fans been keeping it real.
